A 44-year-old woman died in a crash Monday afternoon when she crossed the center line on the roadway and slammed into a pickup in northwest Harris County.

The two-vehicle wreck happened about 4 p.m. in the 14000 block of Katy Hockley Road, according to the Harris County Sheriff's Office.

Deputies said the woman was driving a 2005 Chevrolet Impala northbound when, witnesses told investigators, she crossed into on-coming traffic. The driver of a 2008 Ford F-250 traveling southbound tried to avoid the Impala, but the vehicles collided.

The woman, whose name has not been released, died at the scene. The pickup driver was not hurt.
